I found that the CMake build of casacore recognises these environment
variables:

PYTHON3_EXECUTABLE
PYTHON3_LIBRARY
PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR

Did you try to explicitly set e.g. one or more of

PYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3.8
PYTHON3_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.8.so
PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.8

?

If not, could you try that and let me know? I would try myself but, as I
said in my report, I pinned the boost library, so I cannot do it in the
proper up to date sid environment.

Bye
Giacomo
